I especially love the green silk blouse ( that coloring is so perfect with your hair and skin) and the gingham dress (the seaming is pretty divine).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882577 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:58:32 +0000 Mainelady 1882577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great summer outfits!

Fun and feminine. My faves are 1 and 5. I really like the white jeans look on you and it makes me think about trying mine again (when my DH is not around, ha ha!). I really like the burgundy and white colour combination, which looks summery while still being a little unexpected for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882348 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 20:13:58 +0000 karen13 1882348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these, Flamboyant natural is perfect. The orphan top and the gingham dress are my faves. Wear the heck out of that once orphaned top - the colors and print are sooo good and they are perfect with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882262 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:48:33 +0000 lyn67 1882262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Angie said it for me, all-above! Kind of almost crossposted the same thoughts!:-) I&nbsp; was just a little late as busy with google-ing for the top I was lurking to buy and to link it's pictie here to show&nbsp; it&nbsp; has a very&nbsp; simillar pattern like your orphaned one....so what's not to love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882215 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 15:18:35 +0000 Angie 1882215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New hair is KILLER.

The gingham dress is great on you. </p> <p>I really like the old floral silk blouse. Would it work with your white jeans? A demon skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882205 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:43:54 +0000 Cardiff girl 1882205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it’s lovely to see summer clothes when you are stuck in a dreary January in the uk and for that alone I thank you!I particularly like #1;2;4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882203 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:41:03 +0000 Liz A. 1882203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't read all of your post before looking at the pictures, but I was struck by how much I love your hair in pic five.&nbsp; I like the more dramatic side part and the asymmetry.&nbsp; My favorite outfit is pic 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882201 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:38:49 +0000 Suz 1882201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That gingham dress is killer gorgeous on you. Wow. I love the curls, too - is the hair more asymmetrical also, or is that just an effect of the styling?&nbsp;</p> <p>I tend to revert to pattern for interest in summer also. Less hot that way!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882200 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:35:46 +0000 Helena 1882200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect summer outfits; I can't pick a favorite.

Nice to be reminded of summer in the midst of our deep winter. My favs are #2 and 5. I LOVE the green floral top. I definitely see flamboyant natural in these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882195 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:12:39 +0000 Katerina 1882195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a&nbsp;lovely collection of patterned summer pieces!

It seems you’ve done well finding dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882118 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 04:50:37 +0000 jussie 1882118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the polka dot dress and the gingham dress. Your style monikers are perfect! Thanks for sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882116 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 04:27:49 +0000 Dianna 1882116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic round of outfits. My favorites are 5 and 6, specially the gingham one. Love your new haircut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterns-1#post-1882115 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 04:20:44 +0000 Sal 1882115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>Here is a round up of some looks I have been wearing over the last fortnight.&nbsp; The common themes are<br />- interest by pattern - there is not much accessorizing going on<br />- wearing a few pieces that I don't wear much - especially the green silk top and the black and cream polka dot dress.<br />- I have mentioned a few times that I struggle to layer summer tops and dresses.&nbsp; I like all these tops and dresses but never wear a topper with them - luckily it has been hot enough that I do not want to!!</p> <p>For newer forum members I have adopted Flamboyant Natural as a Style Moniker with sporty, elegant and casual as my adjectives.</p> <p>1)&nbsp; Remix of my new Pohutakawa blouse with white pants.&nbsp; I liked it more than I thought I would.</p> <p>2-3)&nbsp; A very old silk blouse that I wear rarely.&nbsp; I wore it out to dinner for the 13 year old's birthday.&nbsp; It is pretty but I only like it with jeans.&nbsp; Close up of the colours and pattern.</p> <p>4-5)&nbsp; My gingham dress.&nbsp; Worn for my hair cut.&nbsp; My stylist did it in a more curly-wild way for a change and using some curl enhancer. I ended up with a tidy up, recolour - I am not sure on the curls but it is fun to experiment.</p> <p>6)&nbsp; My floral sunfrock - I wear this once a week working from home or in the weekend from December to February then put it away for the rest of the year.&nbsp; This is the fifth summer so I expect it has had about 45 wears in total now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The light is not great in these pics - I suspect I need a new phone/camera but I am holding out a bit longer</p> <p>Your comments or suggestions are welcome.</p> </p>
